UPDATE: Shatner’s Video Message To SDCC Psych Panel

William Shatner has a guest role on the upcoming season USA’s comedy-drama Psych, where he will be playing the father of Maggie Lawson (Juliet O’Hara). And today at the Psych panel at San Diego Comic Con Shatner beamed in via a recorded video segment. Here is the video (via THR).

random thought for the day: what was up with captain harriman? i get that he needed to come off as dumb so that kirk could swoop in and save the day (btw, if excelsior had a tractor beam installed before it went out on a trial run in Trek III, WHY wouldnt the B have theirs installed???) but why would starfleet leave the newest most advanced ship in the hands of an idiot who didnt know how to command? the more i think about it, the more i want to rank generations behind nemesis and insurrection.

I had to laugh from my heart. “I am the captain”. Man, Bill, you are great. Really, without being ironic. But also Scott Bakula is an interesting man. I hope also in germany “the captains” will be available.

Creation charged a bomb for his autograpgh but when he found out how much they were charging he INSISTED on personalising everyone’s photo as a result, when Creation are not happy with the actors doing that.

At the photo op he took the time to shake everyone’s hand. He was very gracious and very down to Earth.

When I was younger, Shatner was my hero because he was Captain Kirk. These days, Shatner is my hero because he’s himself: a man who pursues every creative idea he has with all the passion and relentlessness of someone half his age (or younger!). He’s providing a model for how people can age and not lose enthusiasm for new ventures and discoveries. He defines the term “joie de vivre!”
